Cox, who has appeared in such features as "The King's Splooge" and "Today You Cum", is expected to miss 10-12 weeks of production while undergoing a regimen of protease inhibitor treatment for the virus.

Cox will also be restricted to condom-only shoots for the duration of her career.

"Losing Chloe for 3 months is obviously a big blow, one that can't be over-estimated," commented Turgid CEO Randy St. James.

Cox's infection is just the latest setback for Turgid in 2013, which also lost Samantha Cummings in August when the mega-vixen tore her butthole filming a double penetration scene.

"It's been a tough year, no doubt about that," said St. James, "Monah Rivers was out with chlamydia early on, then Misty Lane suffered that high pussy sprain, and now this."

Though St. James has assured the media that the studio has no shortage of fresh-faced sluts ready to suck and fuck like rock stars, analysts have drastically cut their estimates for the studio's revenue and AVN haul for the year.

"It's not pretty," said one analyst, "In fact it's getting a little ugly."
